The    Canadian    laws    are    as    liberal    as   any  in   the

A  well-known  stockman  of  .uilt  Lake  Cilw  I 'tab. 
owns  over  40,000  acres  of  Milk  River  Rid^e  kinds, 
and  succcssfiiil)-  conducts  thereon  a  lari^e  ranch  in

The    climate    of    Southern     Alberta    ma\-    he    said, 
without    fear    of   contradiction,    to    be    the    finest    and' 
mildest  in    North   Western    (  anada,    and,    indeed,   the 
whole  ot  Canada.       I'he   winter  is  vers    si'nilar  to  the

mon, and  is  of  short  duration :  the  snow-falls  rarely 
remain  on  the  i^round  for  any  leni;th  of  time;  horses 
and  cattle  «:raze  all  the  \ear  round.  Hie  district  has 
acc[uired  the  favorable  reputation  it  hears  o\  Uv^  to 
the  "Chinooks,"  or  warm  winds,  from  the  Pacific 
coast.

nineteen  hours,  with  the  result  that  crops  more  speed- 
ily mature,  and  the  healthiness  of  the  climate  is 
much  increased.  Indeed,  owini;-  to  its  hii;h  altitutie 
and  dr\-  climate,  this  district  is  rej^arded  as  a  rival 
of  that  of  Colorado.

The  value  of  the  district  for  stock-raising-  purposes 
has  long  since  been  demonstrated.  Ranching  on  a 
large  scale  have  been  conducted  here  since  the  early 
eighties,  and  to-day  great  herds  of  range  cattle  roam 
at  will  over  these  seemingly  boundless  pastures.  The 
clear,  light  air,  dry  atmosphere,  the  pure  water,  cool 
ni*>hts  and  the  nutritious  buftalo  and  bunch  <.rrasses, 
produce  an  animal  full  of  stamina  and  health,  free 
from  lung  or  bone  disease,  and  when  taken  off  the 
range  the  cattle  are  fit  for  any  butcher's  sho|)  in  the 
world.  It  is  not  necessary  to  point  out  to  stockmen 
the  profits  tc  be  derived  from  raising  cattle.  Small 
quantities  of  hay  are  put  up  by  some  ranchers  for  the

Milk  River  is  a  small  stream  about  thirty  feet 
wide  and  from  one  to  three  feet  deep.  It  rises  in 
Montana  at  the  eastern  l)ase  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains, and  flowing  northward  into  Alberta,  Canada,  it 
turns  and  runs  eastward  about  lOO  miles  (never 
reaching-  a  <''reater  distance  than  ten  miles  north 
of  the  international  boundary),  and  reenters  Mon- 
tana and  becomes  one  of  the  feeders  of  the  Missouri 
River. 

The  Milk  River  Ridi'c  is  a  low  ransje  of  hills, 
l)'ing  to  the  north  of  and  extending  along  the  Milk 
River  about  thirty  miles;  having  a  width  from  north 
to  south  of  about  eighteen    miles.

The  Milk  River  Ritltj^e  District  is  preeminently 
suited  for  stock-raising  purposes.  It  produces  a  lux- 
uriant growth  of  grass,  yielding  as  high  as  one  ton 
per  acre,  which  cures  on  the  stem,  retaining  its  nutri- 
tious properties  the  entire  year.  The  snow  is  never 
deep  enough  to  prevent  the  animals  from  eating  the 
grass  off  the  ground.  ( iood  water,  in  lakes  and 
springs,  is  to  be  had  in  abundance. 

Cattle  thieving  and  other  acts  of  vandalism  are 
comparatively  rare  in  the  Northwest  Territories.  The 
Government  has  hael  a  force  known  as  the  North- 
west Mounted  Police  stationed  in  the  country  for 
the    past    twenty-hvc    years.      These    •'  Riders    of  the

Wild  gcesc  and  ducks  are  always  to  be  found 
in  the  small  lakes  in  the  fall  in  m\riads.  Prairie 
chickens  are  very  plentiful  within  a  distance  of  from 
fifteen  to  thirty  miles  westward  from  the  Milk  River 
Rid*'e  District;  the  finest  trout  and  other  tishini>' 
may  be  had  in  streams  and  rivulets  in  the  foothills 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  ami  antelopes  still  abound 
on  the  plains  adja.cent  thereto.  The  i;randeur  and 
beautv  of  these  mountains  in  Alberta  cannot  be 
excelled.  All  these  advantaijes  combined  make  this 
rei;ion  trul)'  a  "sportsman's  paradise."
